GNSS, RNAV and Advanced Avionics

GNSS

Most aircraft and/or pilots are equipped with one form or another of Global Navigation Satelite System (GNSS)/Global Positioning System (GPS). Although most pilots use the systems, they have more than likely never had formal training and do not fully understand the system and its limitations, or their own operational limitations when using such equipment.

Our comprehensive training course includes theoretical and practical training on the following:

Requirements of a Navigation System

How GNSS works

GNSS System Architecture

Errors and Limitations

Augmentation Systems

Human Factors

Operational Procedures

Warnings and Messages

RNAV

Area Navigation (RNAV) training will cover the following elements:

RNAV(GNSS) equipment requirements

RNAV(GNSS) operational requirements

Pilot qualification and recency requirements

Procedures for flying an RNAV(GNSS) approach

Airmanship considerations when flying an RNAV(GNSS) approach

Advanced Avionics

As with the GNSS/GPS system, many light aircraft today come with very advanced avionics or are retrofitted with such equipment. More often than not, the users have a very limited knowledge of what their equipment is capable of or what its limitations are.

At the end of this training course, you will have knowledge of the following:
